My hometown is in Shandong Province. It is located in North China. It is a place with a long history, and it is also a shipping center.

During the Spring and Autumn Period more than two thousand years ago, what is now Shandong Province was divided into two small states: one was Qi and the other was Lu. Many famous people in ancient times had their hometowns in these two countries. The most famous of them was Confucius. Confucius' hometown was Qufu in the State of Lu. His students recorded his words and deeds and compiled them into the Analects of Confucius. After Confucius died, people built the largest Confucian temple in China for him. Every time on the birthday of Confucius, many people would come to offer sacrifices.

Shandong is a peninsula, part of which extends to the vast Bohai Sea, so it is also a shipping center. A major port in Shandong Province is Qingdao Port. Hundreds of millions of tons of things are exported and imported through the country every year.

If you go to Shandong, you must go to Mount Tai. Mount Tai is the central eastern mountain of the Five Mountains. Although I have not been to Mount Tai, but listen to my father said Mount Tai has one thousand five hundred and forty-five meters high, can only climb up from seventeen thousand steps. What if you ask when is the best time to climb? I tell you: 4:30 in the morning is best. Because as soon as you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see a spectacular sunrise. When the sun first came out, the sky and the sea were a deep red, and then a thousand rays of golden light shot out, and the sky and the sea slowly changed color: orange-red -- light red -- orange-yellow -- bright yellow, and then the sun rose.

My hometown is actually in Dezhou, Shandong Province. One of the specialties here is Dezhou braised chicken. Dezhou braised chicken is delicious, and it will be even more delicious if it is paired with Shandong pancake. The braised chicken here makes people think about straight slobber, eat, it will have an endless aftertaste.

I am proud that there are so many famous people, so many tourist attractions and so many delicious food in my hometown.

Q4: 懂伊斯兰教和英语的朋友来

给你提供一些资料吧，你自己看看合适不。

Islam, one of the three major world religions, along with Judaism and Christianity, that profess monotheism, or the belief in a single God. In the Arabic language, the word Islam means “surrender” or “submission”—submission to the will of God. A follower of Islam is called a Muslim, which in Arabic means “one who surrenders to God.” The Arabic name for God, Allah, refers to the same God worshiped by Jews and Christians. Islam’s central teaching is that there is only one all-powerful, all-knowing God, and this God created the universe. This rigorous monotheism, as well as the Islamic teaching that all Muslims are equal before God, provides the basis for a collective sense of loyalty to God that transcends class, race, nationality, and even differences in religious practice. Thus, all Muslims belong to one community, the umma, irrespective of their ethnic or national background.

Within two centuries after its rise in the 7th century, Islam spread from its original home in Arabia into Syria, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain to the west, and into Persia, India, and, by the end of the 10th century, beyond to the east. In the following centuries, Islam also spread into Anatolia and the Balkans to the north, and sub-Saharan Africa to the south. The Muslim community comprises about 1 billion followers on all five continents, and Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. The most populous Muslim country is Indonesia, followed by Pakistan and Bangladesh. Beyond the Middle East, large numbers of Muslims live in India, Nigeria, the former republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), and China.

One of the reasons for the growth of the Muslim community has been its openness to new members. Children born to Muslim parents are automatically considered Muslim. At any time, a non-Muslim can convert to Islam by declaring himself or herself to be a Muslim. A person’s declaration of faith is sufficient evidence of conversion to Islam and need not be confirmed by others or by religious authorities.
